Working at night ? Use this Blue Light filter - Technical Fundas

Working at night ? Use this Blue Light filter

Working At Night

It has become common knowledge that blue light can suppress the production of melatonin. This prevents the body from getting sleep properly at night leading to an unfulfilling sleep. If you read at night and simply read before you sleep this can be a great app.

In recent times many software providers have helped to address the concern which has led to reduced eye strain and improved sleeping patterns. F.lux is perhaps the most notable out of the bunch of others available. This has helped techies to improve light related issues.

Many OS has begun to build an option to filter out the blue light including Windows, Mac, Amazon, and Android. But this F.lux has been there for around 10 years and is available on every major OS platform. This software uses location to match the solar cycle in your area gradually shifting to less blue light as evening approaches.

You can also manually change the color  settings from Daylight (Blue/White) (6500K) to Ember (Orange/Yellow)(1200K).  If the light is dim you can choose the  Dim Incandescent Mode (2300K) and reduce eye strain option to make the effect even smoother.

Similarly, you can use effects and extra colors to set the screen to the mode you want. For example, if you little dimmer light than broad daylight you can use the Himalayan Salt Lamp or if you want to watch a movie you can select the Movie Mode. Other effects include the “Darkroom Mode” which makes the background black and text/interface red. “Emerald City” applies the green tint.

If you want to reduce eye strain during the day you can choose Soft White Light and Reduce Eye Strain option from the drop-down menu.  F.lux can be enabled or disabled with hotkeys. For people connected with lighting systems, F.lux works in conjunction with Philips Hue Light, Philips Color Kinetics & Intelli White, YeeLight and  LIFX.

If you do not want to install any software you can still reduce the amount of Blue Light with Night Light in Windows 10. You can change the night light manually in Windows 10. This setting can be accessed at Settings->System->Display.

Also, the Mac Users have an option called Night Shift which can be found by navigating to System Preferences>Display>Night Shift-Tab which provides the same level of functionality as Windows 10.
